It was a busy day on Barton Heights yesterday. The morning started with coffee cups in hand, as we caught up on computer games and our usual morning visiting. We had a quick breakfast of assorted breads, fruit and scrambled eggs with bacon.
After breakfast, Herb and Rusty set up the gas stove and pressure cooker while Bobi, Cienna and I filled pint jars with beef chunks. Soon the pressure cooker was "steaming" away. We brought out the scrabble board, then the cards and we played continuous games, keeping a close eye on the pressure gage. We processed 23 pints of beef and 4 pints of beef broth.

| Banana cream pie |
Bobi and Cienna decided we needed a banana cream pie to go with our dinner, so while Rusty was cooking a beef brisket on his grill, I rolled out the pie crust and they made the filling. Whipped cream was added when this lovely pie was served for dessert.
Meanwhile next door at the Williams household a major demolition was taking place as their old barn (featured on Oma's View) was being dismantled so it could be burned. The barn had become structurally unsound and had to be demolished. With sad hearts we watched it crumble to the ground, then listened to the roar of the fire as the one hundred year old barn went up in flames. A new garage and shop will soon be built on that spot. I'm so glad I have "my barn photo".
Card games were played, and stories told, as we drank our wine and filled the room with laughter and good natured bantering until bedtime. OWAV:)
Did the pie taste as good as it looks? Makes me hungry.
